Experience a cutting-edge solution for hair loss with scalp micropigmentation (SMP). Unlike traditional hair transplants, SMP offers a minimally invasive, long-lasting option that restores confidence with natural-looking results.
How Does Scalp Micropigmentation Work?
SMP involves placing tiny, medical-grade pigment deposits into the upper layers of the scalp. This technique mimics the look of hair follicles, carefully customized to match your natural hair color and skin tone. Typically completed in two to three sessions, the treatment builds layers to create a realistic, full appearance that blends seamlessly with your scalp, giving you a shaved/buzzed appearance.
Why SMP Is Better Than a Traditional Hair Transplant
Unlike a traditional hair transplant, which is invasive and costly, SMP offers many benefits:
- Conceals scars from previous hair transplants or injuries
- Masks signs of conditions like alopecia or thinning hair
- Restores the look of a full, natural head of hair
- Creates a sharp, youthful hairline (or enhances a receding one with a realistic touch)
- Delivers low-maintenance results that are long-lasting
- Suitable for all skin tones and hair types
Who Can Benefit from SMP?
If you experience any of the below, you could be a candidate for SMP treatment:
- Thinning hair
- Complete baldness or partial baldness
- Alopecia of any severity
- Scars from surgeries (including hair transplants), burns, or injuries
- Irregularities in the scalp caused by birthmarks or other factors
No matter your situation, our team at Scalp Evolution provides a personalized solution to help you achieve your cosmetic goals.
What to Expect During Your Appointment at Scalp Evolution
Your SMP treatment starts with a detailed consultation where we talk about your goals and assess your scalp. During the procedure, a skilled technician uses a fine needle to deposit pigment into your scalp.
Each session takes 2–4 hours, with a few days between appointments to let your skin heal. You might notice some redness right after, but most people can jump back into their routine right away—just avoid sun exposure and intense exercise during the healing phase.
Every detail of SMP is customized for you, making sure it creates a natural, seamless look that enhances your appearance.
Is There Downtime After SMP Treatment?
Most people can return to work within a day of their treatment. While mild redness might persist for a day or two, there’s no scarring or need for extended recovery time.
Are There Side Effects?
SMP is considered safe with minimal to no side effects. Some people experience mild redness following each session. While rare, severe side effects can include an allergic reaction to the pigment. Following proper aftercare instructions minimizes the chance of side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between SMP and hair transplant surgery?
SMP is non-surgical, unlike hair transplant surgery, which involves removing hair from a donor site and placing it into bald or thinning areas. Additionally, SMP focuses on creating the illusion of hair without needing surgical intervention, offering immediate results with no recovery time.
Is SMP the same as a regular tattoo?
No, SMP is not the same as a regular tattoo. While both involve pigment and a needle, SMP is a highly specialized technique designed to replicate the look of hair follicles. The pigment is deposited in the upper dermis (the layer of skin just below the surface), requiring precision to create a realistic appearance of a hair transplant procedure or natural hairline.
Can SMP work for people with short hair?
Yes. SMP is a great solution for individuals with short hair, a shaved look, or even no hair. The process creates the appearance of healthy hair, blending seamlessly with any remaining strands for a natural look.
Is SMP a good alternative to hair replacement surgery?
Yes, SMP is an excellent alternative to hair replacement surgery like follicular unit transplantation or flap surgery. While hair transplantation aims to promote hair growth, SMP delivers the visual impact of a full head of hair without scarring or lengthy recovery periods. It’s also ideal for people who have not had success with hair grafts or hair plugs.
Are touch-ups required after SMP?
While SMP is a durable and long-lasting solution, touch-ups may occasionally be needed. These sessions can help refresh the pigment or adjust the appearance of your hairline over time. However, the need for touch-ups is rare and depends on factors like skin type and sun exposure.
Can SMP enhance the results of previous hair transplant work?
Yes, SMP is an excellent way to complement or improve the results of prior hair transplant work, such as follicular unit extraction (FUE). By concealing scars and adding density to transplanted hair, SMP creates the look of a fuller, more even scalp.
What if I’ve had a hair transplant procedure before?
If you’ve undergone a hair transplant procedure and have scars or uneven results, SMP can help. It camouflages scars from surgeries like follicular unit extraction or flap surgery, while blending with transplanted hair for a seamless, natural-looking result.
How does SMP handle thinning hair?
SMP is a versatile solution for thinning hair, as it creates the illusion of density in areas where hair loss is apparent. This is particularly beneficial for conditions like male pattern baldness or female pattern hair loss, where achieving the look of fullness can improve confidence without the need for cosmetic surgery.
Does SMP stimulate hair growth?
No, SMP does not stimulate hair growth, but it does deliver the visual effect of a fuller scalp. Unlike treatments like hair replacement surgery or follicular unit transplantation, SMP focuses on creating the illusion of natural density, making it a great option for those who want a non-surgical solution.
